Abstract
Balanced RF photonic links are of great interest because they can suppress laser relative intensity noise (RIN) and amplified spontaneous emission noise (ASE) from optical amplifiers, achieving shot noise-limited performance [1]. To date, the highest performance RF photonic links have employed LiNbO3 Mach-Zehnder modulators (X-MZM). Due to their interferometric operation, X-MZM links cannot simultaneously achieve RIN cancellation and large linear dynamic range [2]
